from press release

BALTIMORE - Visiting Duquesne overcame a
two-goal halftime deficit, and outscored UMBC, 6-1, in the second
half to capture an 11-8 victory over the Retrievers at UMBC
Stadium.

Senior midfielder Alicia Krause (Ellicott City, Md./Mount Hebron)
led UMBC (1-3) with three goals and one assist against her former
team. Junior middie Lindsay Cox (High Bridge, N.J.) scored once and
added three assists.

Duquesne (2-2) sophomore attacker Haley Marafioti led all scorers
with four goals and one assist.

The game featured two big runs by Duquesne, countered by one for
the Retrievers. The Dukes broke an early 1-1 tie with a 4-0 surge
and led 5-1 at the 17:20 mark of the first half. But the Retrievers
countered, tying the game with four goals in a span of 1:53 to draw
even on the second of back-to-back scores by Krause with 12:30
remaining in the half.

Goals by sophomore Taeler Errington (Valley Lee, Md./Leonardtown)

But after a quick exchange of scores early in the second half, the
Dukes re-established control and held UMBC scoreless for the final
23:37. Trailing 8-7, DU’s Meredith Dunn tied the game at the
17:57 mark, and Marafioti gave the visitors the lead for good,
